welcome back. on the military front lines, you have to be a leader able to handle unbelievable amounts of stress. at built to adapt to fast- changing situations with a moment's notice is a must, of course. when i you aservice member returns home from war, these skills can translate into success in the work force but making that transition can be difficult. that is where the organization we're about to introduce you to comes in. ramsey sulaman joins us now with more. thank you for. coming in on this veterans day. >> sure. thank you for having me. >> we appreciate it. vets say the hardest thing is using the skills they have there and applying it to a job here. organization help out in that regard. >> one of the thins that veterans find most challenging, the unemployment rate is high. it has been stubbornly high for vet an, over two percentage points higher than it is for civilians. one of the thins that veterans

find difficult that is employers don't understand necessary lit military service. in a generation where less than 1% of the population is serving in the military, it is not quite like world war ii where everybody had that experience of either having served or a family member or neighbor and really understood what people did. so today, when veterans come back, you know, that is one issue. another issue is that a lot of the credential and licenses that you might expect that say a military medic would have. i have a good fend who in afghanistan performed combat life saving on a french foreign legionnaire shot in the head. he couldn't get a job as i medic when he came back. he had great training. one of the things that we are doing is working on capitol hill to try to get credentialing and licensing initiatives through and laws passed to give some reciprocity there and we are all partnering with businesses and doing hiring fairs and also trying to help them bridge the gap

between military and civilian -- the ending of the employment and what veterans can bring to them. >> so you are kind of like a middleman in a sense sort of helping everybody understand each other and their skills. >> we are a little bit of a conduit in that sense. hopefully, as the economy improves and as people get a greater understanding of exactly what veterans do, because a lot of the jobs are really analagous. but when you leave the military, it is like that never happened. >> interesting. talk a little bit too about the fact that now, i mean we have a lot of vets that come back with issues with post traumatic stress disorder. tell me how the association is able to work with those vets who have those sort of issues that they're working through mentally and at the same time trying to get them back into the work force. >> well, what we are really focusing in terms of ptsz and

mental health is trying to reduce the backlog that the va has for health care and expanding mental health care care access particularly for guard and reserve who don't have the resources to avail themselves of when they come off active duty. we are trying to help people readjust and reaction reacclimate so they can come back and be successful with employment and family and the whole thing that make everybody happy in life. >> real quick, you are always open and accepting helping veterans. your doors are always wide open. >> we are. we have about 200,000 members around the country. so we have presence and we do a lot -- a little bit different model than most.

we do a lot via internet and twitter. >> we have a link to your web site as well on myfoxdc.com. you are also a marine as well, served in iraq. >> i did. >> we appreciate your service as well today. >> sure. thank you for having me. >> wisdom, over to you. >> thank you. and here is tucker barnes to talk about the weather. >> a beautiful weekend. we had very mild temperatures yesterday. got to 71 degrees yesterday at reagan national. still going to enjoy the mild temperature today. cloud cover moving in and some rain showers. >> but it will be cold. >> cooler. hang in there. this is not the end. let's get to it. take a look at temperatures at rag and national. it won't be that bad. 50 in washington. 53 this morning in annapolis. we were cool overnight but not terribly cold. the last week or two, we've

the back side of this, the sunshine already breaking out by late morning across the region along with the cooler temperatures. so, not a terrible looking forecast and it won't be terribly cool behind the front although much cooler than today. 68, becoming cloudy. winds south, five to 10. here is your accu-weather seven- day forecast. much cooler behind the front. 52, still we can deal with that with some early showers and afternoon sun and the remainder of the week we bounce around in the 50s all week. nothing too extreme although temperatures a little cooler than they should be for this time of year. kind of the theme of the month so far. >> all right. >> all right. >> well, it is justify the three of us today. >> mr. perkins is not here. he is under the weather a little bit. >> yes. he is not feeling well. >> time for ask tony and tucker. >> yeah! >> would you, that got deeper

and deeper. >> that was awesome. we put our fabulously large heads together. today, great we come from noah frasier. we all know where the president lives. >> yeah, the white house. >> i figure everybody knows where that is, right? >> we should. >> but what about the vice president's house? >> oh, kind. gets left out a little bit sometimes. >> it does. fascinating history. i had no idea the history of the vice president's house and how recently vice presidents have lived there. >> you pass by and you think it's just always been that way but it hasn't. >> fascinating stuff. let's get down to business. the vice president lives at the united states naval observatory and that is in northwest washington, sort of -- off massachusetts? >> yes, right. >> off massachusetts. you can tell by the secret service you see around fences. >> and the clock. >> and the clock and the fact that the fences are nine feet

high. >> you can't see the house from the road. >> i've never been able to see the house. >> you can kind of see the roof. look at the house. >> it's governious house. the house was built in 1893 for the superintendent of the then united states naval observatory. -- its a gorgeous house. it is 9153 square feet. >> not bad. >> beautiful house and, of course, historic. this was originally the naval observatory for a hundred years before it became the vice president's house. it was used as an observe fry teri for stars, aston my. this was on the outskirts of town j oh, my gosh. >> the u.s. presidents back in the day used to travel out here by horse and carriage to get to enjoy the stars and get to

enjoy a little country. isn't that amazing. >> now, it is in northwest d.c. the vice president lives this. the history goes that it got going in the late 109s. the first vice president to live there was walter mondale in 1977. they decided in 1974. traditionally, vice presidents had lived at their own resident and i think we many time visited president gerald ford when he was vice president, his former house in virginia and it is still there. so in 1974, they decided it was too complicated, too many security risks with having a vice president live in his own residence. they decided to make this the full-time residence of the vice president. it wasn't until 1977 that the vice president officially lived

there. since then, every vice president including dan quayle and dick cheney and gore have lived there. it has undergone many renovation. mr.quayle was famous for putting a big patio in the back as well as a pool. >> you got update. >> and joe biden absolutely loves that. he will never say a bad word about vice president quayle because he absolutely loves the pool and patio in the back. >> who won't? >> have either of you ever toured? >> i have not but i would love to. can we do that? >> the answer to that is no, can you not. unless you get a special invite from the vice president or perhaps his wife, you will not be touring the facility. it is not open to the public unlike the white house. >> i have a picture of the vice president. will that get me in. >> we're friends. >> i can show up at the gate. >> i read that gerald ford was

supposed to be the first one to move in but then he became president. >> right, he ran out of tomb. >> and then -- >> john reporter's notebook feller apparently had his own sprawling mansion so he didn't need it. >> i imagine with the name rockefeller, that is probably the case. >> if you get a chance, you too can walk outside the gate and peek inside. >> maybe now we'll get an invite. >> that would be nice. >> if you are hanging around on the outside, i think the security might be -- >> got to keep it moving. >> wish we could see it up close. close. >> have you toured the vice president's mansion? >> no, i have not. i haven't been creepy either and stood outside looking. >> i walked past it. >> that was tucker barnes.

he walks up and down. comes back. >> i kept it moving. >> and then tucker tries to play it off like it is a new dance move. i'm in the buying it. >> neither was security. >> exactly. all right. on the roads, what we are anticipating to be a lighter than usual traffic volume day, it is kind of shaping up to get kind of busy out there. found the accident northbound on the outer loop of the beltway, before 214 central avenue tying up the left side of the highway. be careful there. in virginia, we do have accident activity before you reach 66. this is tying up 234 at wellington road. 66 is open for business, looks great right now. no problems to report as you guys continuen bound from man aas to the capital beltway. southbound 270, nice and clear right now well above posted speed. that's a check of your fox 5 on-timetraffic. etraffic. here is a unique gift marking president obama's re- election. a small town in italy is
